I feel like the G series is kinda plagued with issues though. It would be nice if they made a new rev-i. I think it is more likely to have a new fusion or a new marker all together based on the fusion than to make another G series.

Solenoids don't like to be messed with. Not just in paintball, but everywhere. Leave them alone, and they will work for much, much longer than they would if you had tried to service them.

However, the "solenoid" in most paintball guns these days is actually a solenoid driven pneumatic valve. That's why we call them electro-pneumatic guns. So it's actually two components in one. The electric side doesn't need to be touched. On the other hand, the mechanical side still needs oil from time to time to keep the o-rings in good kit. However, dry firing a couple of drops of oil through the ASA once in a while is plenty sufficient for that task.

Just did this on my FX. I do it about every 25k shots, not really certain if I should do it more or less, but it's worked fine so far.

New here - I have a G3, brought used. Love the marker, really like the look and feel. (i also own a etek4, but i like shooting the G3 more). However DP-G3, at least mine anyway, is quite unreliable. I play 1 game, and will have to use the etek4 for the next, because of a gas leak. Always just gas leak, no matter how much grease i put on the o-rings. I can't get hold of the G3 o-ring kit locally anymore, and ordering online is so expensive (shipping cost).
